Rabbi Zadok ha-Kohen Rabinowitz of Lublin (in Hebrew: צדוק הכהן מלובלין) (Kreisburg, 1823 - Lublin, Poland, 1900), (or Tzadok Hakohen or Tzadok of Lublin), was a significant Jewish thinker and Hasidic leader.〔The Journal of Jewish Thought & Philosophy 1993 3-4 p153 "R. Zadok ha-Kohen Rabinowitz (1823-1900) was born to a rabbinic/mitnagdic family in Latvia; a prodigy, ... He was incredibly prolific, and many of his works, none of which was published in his lifetime, were presumably lost in the destruction of the Lublin ghetto, though some seem to have ."〕〔Alan Brill ''Thinking God: The Mysticism of Rabbi Zadok of Lublin'' 2002 "This work also sheds important light on Lithuanian talmudic intellectualism and Polish Hasidism. It is the first book to present a critical, analytical portrait of hasidic theology."〕 ==Biography== He was born into a Lithuanian Rabbinic family and then became a follower of the Hasidic Rebbe, Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner of Izbica, and of Yehudah Leib Eiger〔Some say he was a peer of Yehudah Leib Eiger, see 'Codex Judaica' by Matis Kantor, p.274〕 (grandson of the famed Rabbi Akiva Eiger and another student of Mordechai Leiner), whom he succeeded in 1888.〔'Codex Judaica', Kantor, p.274〕 He is a classic example of a Litvish Jew turned Chasidic. As a young man he gained widespread acclaim as an illuy (a brilliant talmudist). Rabbi Zadok refused to accept any rabbinic post for most of his life. He eked out a living by his wife running a small used clothing store. Upon the death of Eiger in 1888, Zadok Hakohen agreed to take over the leadership of the Hasidim. It was then that he began to give his public classes that would take place on Shabbat, Holidays, Rosh Chodesh and special occasions. The transcriptions of those classes were compiled into his work known as ''Pri Tzadik''. Rabbi Zadok was a prolific writer in all areas of Judaism, halakhah, Hasidut, Kabbalah, angelology, ethics; he also wrote scholarly essays on astronomy, geometry, and algebra. One of his lone surviving students was Rabbi Michael Mokotovsky, whose son was Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Mokotovsky, better known by his penname Eliyahu Kitov. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zadok HaKohen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
